摘要:
When viewed in a plan view, a termination region (TM) surrounds an element region (CL). A first side of a silicon carbide substrate (SB) is thermally etched to form a side wall (ST) and a bottom surface (BT) in the silicon carbide substrate (SB) at the termination region (TM). The side wall (ST) has a plane orientation of one of {0-33-8} and {0-11-4}. The bottom surface (BT) has a plane orientation of {000-1}. On the side wall (ST) and the bottom surface (BT), an insulating film (8T) is formed. A first electrode (12) is formed on the first side of the silicon carbide substrate (SB) at the element region (CL). A second electrode (14) is formed on a second side of the silicon carbide substrate (SB).
摘要:
A silicon carbide layer is thermally etched by supplying the silicon carbide layer with a process gas that can chemically react with silicon carbide, while heating the silicon carbide layer. With this thermal etching, a carbon film (50) is formed on the silicon carbide layer. Heat treatment is provided to the silicon carbide layer to diffuse carbon from the carbon film (50) into the silicon carbide layer.

A semiconductor device employing silicon carbide, and the like are provided. In the semiconductor device, even when an electrode material and an upper electrode material are different, a problem does not take place at an interface at which these different types of metals are in contact with each other, thus obtaining high reliability in long-term use. The semiconductor device includes: a contact electrode 16 in contact with silicon carbides 14, 18; and an upper electrode 19 electrically conductive to the contact electrode. The contact electrode 16 is formed of an alloy including titanium, aluminum, and silicon, the upper electrode 19 is formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the upper electrode achieves the electric conduction to the contact electrode with the upper electrode making contact with the contact electrode.
